Chris Wondolowski isn't the only Quake to earn praise for a noteworthy performance in Week 23. Victor Bernardez and Clarence Goodson are both nominated for top defender of the week for their solid performances in Saturday's 2-0 victory over Chivas USA.

Bernardez and Goodson both anchored a back line that kept a clean sheet against the attacking-style Chivas USA.

In just his first week back following a whirlwind month with the U.S. Men's National Team, 2013 MLS All-Star Chris Wondolowski is already making headlines with his two-goal performance that led the Quakes to a shutout victory over Chivas USA last Saturday.

Wondo's brace put him amongst Major League Soccer's Top 3 Performers of the Week. Check out highlights from his superb performance here:

Chris Wondolowski has had a busy summer representing the National Team, being named to the 2013 MLS All-Stars and leading the San Jose Earthquakes in goals.

On Wednesday night in Kansas City, Wondo suited up for the 2013 MLS All-Star Game, appearing as a halftime substitution. Although the All-Stars went on to fall 3-0 to AS Roma, Wondo left an impression on All-Star coach Peter Vermes. Vermes had this to say on Wondolowski and fellow All-Star Landon Donovan:

“I thought both those guys did well. Landon is a world class player that does so many things on the field that I don’t think people realize that gets taken for granted. And Wondo, we had to play him a little bit out of position a little bit. He likes to play closer to goal, but we had him wide at times. They did a hell of a job.”

The U.S. Men's National Team will look to add some hardware to their highly successful summer campaign as they take on Panama in the CONCACAF Gold Cup final at 1 p.m. PT on Sunday at Soldier Field in Chicago.

Both the U.S. and Panama are undefeated in the tournament, but the U.S. have the edge- with 19 goals scored and only four conceded.

Three Quakes- Chris Wondolowski, Clarence Goodson and Alan Gordon- are in camp with the USMNT and will fight for minutes with the talented squad. Wondolowski netted five goals in two matches of the tournament, while Goodson has a goal and a secondary assist to his name.

From Malaysia to San Jose, Daren Gilbert has been around the world to see his beloved Norwich City FC Canaries. A season ticket holder for 32 years, Gilbert hasn't missed a single Norwich City FC match since April 16, 1983. SJEarthquakes.com was lucky enough to sit down with Daren on Saturday.

SJEarthquakes.com: You go to every single home and away Norwich game. Where are some of the places you've traveled for games?

DG: When Norwich beat Bayern Munich 2-1 in the first leg match of the 1993 UEFA Cup second round.

SJEQ: What made you miss the April 16, 1983 game?

DG: My sister got married. But she got a divorce so if she were to get married again she would have to have it on a non-game day if she wanted me there.

SJEQ: Have you missed any notable events for a game?

DG: Just my parent's anniversary one year- but they understood.

SJEQ: How has your time in the Bay Area been so far?

DG: I got here with my four friends on Tuesday. We went to San Francisco and went to the Golden Gate Bridge and to Alcatraz. It's a bit too hot in San Jose for us but it's been great. We are headed up to Portland next.

SJEQ: What's the your favorite food you've eaten since you got here?

DG: The pancakes!

SJEQ: What do you think of MLS?

DG: It's grown quite a bit. I really started to take it seriously when Darren Huckerby came to play for the Earthquakes.
